I'm on holidays enjoying some much needed time off. Though I will keep an eye on my watchlist and talk page, I won't be able to conduct major editing or reviewing until I return.
This is Bobby Cohn's talk page, where you can send him messages and comments.
This page has archives. Sections older than 7 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III when more than 2 sections are present.
This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.
SCAM WARNING!
If someone contacts you asking for money to get a draft published, improve a draft, or restore a deleted article—do not trust them! These offers are scams. Report them to paid-en-wpwikipedia.org. See WP:SCAM for more information.
This user talk page often deals with similar or reoccurring topics. Generic titles of messages may be refactored for clarity, such as renaming the section title to a link of the topic page.
This user is a regular and doesn't mind if you template him. Though he will appreciate if you expand on your reasoning should your concern not be immediately apparent.
This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.
I do not remove personal attacks directed at me from this page. If you spot any, please do not remove them, even if vile, as they speak more against the attacker than against me.
Dear colleague: You declined the aforementioned draft, supposedly due to: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources". It seems to me, that there are plenty of good references now. I want to understand, what is missing - and- how it can be improved. A side note: there are many published articles in English Wikipedia, which are of much lower quality, than this draft.
Also, I would appreciate you share your SPECIFIC comments on the article page (rather than via emails between the two of us), since I am not the only editor involved with this draft, and the others should know about your objections. Walter Tau (talk) 15:35, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Walter Tau: there are large sections of the draft that go unreferenced. Further, like I said in my comment, the article is written as a violation of our WP:NOT policy. This may as well be moved to a state-sponsored website laying out policy and document requirements.
To this point, this draft falls under the purview of your topic ban as was explained to you on your talk page.
Also, we have never conducted any emailed correspondence, either about this draft or any other topic. And you are aware that shared accounts are a violation of our username policy, per WP:SHAREDACCOUNT, yes? Bobby Cohn (talk) 13:16, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Bobby Cohn, thank you for your interest in the aforementioned article draft.
Unfortunately, your comments are too generic and are not helpful for improving the article.
Could you please provide specific examples of: missing references and examples of specific statements, supporting your conclusion:
"Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic."
Using such generic statement is not helpful - they can be used to kill any article.
Furthermore, you seem to have some knowledge of the subject matter. How about YOU make the improvements, that you find most needed ! That is the real collaborative spirit of Wikipedia.
If I'm mistaken and this isn't applicable, then I'd be happy to walk you through and explain the maintenance tags currently present in the article. Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:01, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with love and joy, a Happy Holiday season surrounded by warmth and laughter, and a New Year brimming with hope, happiness, and success! 🎄🎉✨ Baqi:) (talk) 11:02, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Happy holidays and a wonderful New Year to you too @Jannatulbaqi!
@FIELDCONSULT: Hi Art, thanks for the information. I've made the changes to the bibliography section per the information at openlibrary.org. I see you also added some more OL numbers in the article but they may have been reverted. Apologies if the Wiki markup and <ref> tags can be difficult to approach at times. I will take a look at those edits as well and see if I can restore them properly when I get back from the holidays.
